An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-35973 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-35973/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-35973/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-35973","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-35973/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-35973","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8q8f-338r-vxhf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"NETGEAR WAC104","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can bypass authentication on NETGEAR WAC104 devices to change passwords and gain admin shell access.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"wac104_firmware","vendor":"netgear"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AC:L/AV:N/A:H/C:H/I:H/PR:N/S:U/UI:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-697","name":"Incorrect Comparison"}],"description":"NETGEAR WAC104 devices before 1.0.4.15 are affected by an authentication bypass vulnerability in /usr/sbin/mini_httpd, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to invoke any action by adding the \u0026currentsetting.htm substring to the HTTP query, a related issue to CVE-2020-27866.
